Clare: Iraq begins project to extend gas pipeline in Basra to feed power plants

3/14/2025

The Iraqi Ministry of Oil began, on Friday, a project to extend a gas pipeline in Basra Governorate, which supplies power plants.

The ministry said in a statement today that Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs and Minister of Oil Hayan Abdul-Ghani Al-Sawad visited Khor Al-Zubair port today and supervised the project.

She stated that "the visit comes to follow up on the ongoing work inside Khor Al Zubair Port on the Adhraa platform, which is receiving the dry gas pipeline project supporting the power generation stations."

The statement continued, "The Oil Projects Company's staff is making great efforts to bring the project to advanced stages and implement it within the specified timeframe and according to the approved engineering and technical specifications, given its importance in supplying power plants with gas."

It is noteworthy that the project extends from the Khor Al-Zubair docks to the Shatt Al-Arab Regulator, with a length of 40 km and a diameter of 42 knots. Work is proceeding at a rapid pace on the project, within the approved standards, and is being implemented by the national effort cadres of the Company for Oil Projects (SCOP).

On Sunday, March 9, the Iraqi Parliament's Oil and Gas Committee revealed the Iraqi government's intention to import Gulf gas instead of Iranian gas following the recent US sanctions. The committee announced a project being rapidly implemented in Basra, in the far south of the country.

The waiver granted by the United States to Iraq from sanctions imposed on Iran expired on Saturday, March 8, 2025. Consequently, the Baghdad government will not be able to import the Iranian gas needed to operate power plants across the country.

Committee spokesman Ali Shaddad told Shafaq News Agency, "The Ministry of Electricity's problem is that it has established stations in Iraqi governorates that rely solely on gas, while the stations in Basra are combined and operate on gas, crude oil, and black oil, which has contributed to the stability of the electrical system in the governorate."

He explained that "the Prime Minister is personally following up on the progress of the gas pipeline project from the floating platform in Basra on a daily basis," noting that "the Ministry of Oil began work on it about 30 days ago and it will be completed at high speed within 120 days."

He added that "the completion rate has exceeded 30% so far," stressing that "the project will contribute to transporting Gulf gas in quantities of up to 200 cubic meters."

The US State Department recently confirmed the end of exemptions that had allowed Iraq to purchase electricity from Iran, as part of the Trump administration's "maximum pressure" policy against Tehran.

Washington emphasized its refusal to provide any economic relief to Iran, stating that the goal is to end the Iranian nuclear threat, limit its missile program, and prevent its support for armed groups.

For his part, Farhad Alaaldin, the Prime Minister's advisor for foreign affairs, confirmed to Reuters that "the expiration of the waiver poses temporary operational challenges for Iraq."

Alaa El-Din added that "the government is actively working to find alternatives to sustain electricity supplies and mitigate any potential outages," noting that "enhancing energy security remains a national priority, and efforts to boost domestic production, improve grid efficiency, and invest in new technologies will continue at full capacity."

For many years, Iraq has relied on importing electricity and gas from Iran, especially during the peak summer months. This relies on ongoing US waivers, which are issued multiple times each year.

In October 2024, Iraq signed an agreement with Turkmenistan to import gas in quantities of up to 20 million cubic meters per day via the Iranian pipeline network, using a swap mechanism to facilitate transportation. However, the agreement has not yet begun due to technical issues, the Ministry of Electricity recently announced.   LINK

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 3-13-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 3-13-25

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. it's Thursday, march 13th and you're listening to the big call. thanks, everybody around the Globe, that's sharing my three seconds after I say it in your own language or English, whichever you're listening to. But we really appreciate the SAT team getting the word out. Let's, let's pray the call in

All right, let's talk about where we stand in the whole thing. Do you realize Sue told me listen to Bruce's Intel. She said it four times, and I thought, (chuckle chuckle) no pressure. No pressure. Ha Ha Ha 

Actually, you know, guys, I've told you, maybe not every time that I've done a segment, but I've told you that we I do the best to listen to and combine puzzle pieces and try to create timeline for us, usually, and that works pretty well. And then I let you know this is what I'm hearing.

It doesn't mean everything is done or it's going to happen or whatever tomorrow, but I'm very excited, because I can see these puzzle pieces coming together. Let me start off this way. I heard tonight, right before sunset, I was out on the deck with one of the kitty cats, and I heard that the admiralty law is dead.

Admiralty law, that's the BAR British Admiralty Rule, admiralty law, what we've been under, is dead. And the other thing is the USA Corporation is dead. That's gone. And with that, some of the other institutions that we have are in the process of decline and removal.

But we did hear that common law, which is the style of law and things are lawful, as opposed to legal. For the most part, common law is coming in over this weekend, and that means Saturday, Sunday, common law, that's a part of NESARA, one of the pieces of NESARA

So we're going to get little bits and pieces, like, for example, when we go do our exchanges, the USTN which is the United States Treasury note, physical currency of the United States, replacing the USD, a Fiat dollar, is already in the redemption centers, is in the banks and will be put out when we will get it when we go in for our exchanges.

So that aspect of the new USN, the new USTN, is about ready to be revealed. I don't know how soon they'll announce a gold backed currency in this in President Trump's golden age that he says we're in now we're starting that's a sign that we're essentially going back on the gold reserve, or the sense is that we have a gold backed currency –

Now we know it as asset backed with one of the assets is gold, one of the assets is silver.  There are other precious metals, there are gems, there is oil, there is natural gas. There are other assets that the United States has that backs the value of our new USN digital dollar,

For example, the digital currencies, the crypto currencies, since we have a crypto reserve now with five crypto coins as part of it.

And note that is has been established as an asset class that is also backing up our USN dollar, the new US dollar, not Fiat backed which is Fiat base, which means nothing backs except the full faith and credit of the United States, where that's gotten us. This got us in debt.

Now, what about this $36 trillion national debt? I don't think it's going to be paid back. It's owed to the it's owed by the USA Corporation. I think since the corporation is defunct and no longer, since we are a restored Republic, not a corporation based in Puerto Rico, I have a feeling that you're gonna hear something that say that we've wiped out / cleaned up the national debt or whatever.

However, it said, I don't think we I don't think this, the country pays it back. We'll see what happens. The Federal Reserve, the Fed, is dead. The IRS is being whacked seriously, and President Trump said something that one of the guys at lunch said today, taxes are going to be no longer. No longer if you make $175,000 or less, you pay income taxes.

Well, none of us are going to have to pay income taxes. Under NESARA, the income tax goes away. I think President Trump has just given us a hint on what's going to be happening.

He hasn't said, you know, now other people have come on certain new shows, like on Newsmax, and explained a consumption tax. That's exactly what is going to be in NESARA, a 15% consumption tax. Some call it fair tax. Consumption tax, it's only payable on new items that you buy, but your income is not going to be taxed.

And it's that's going to be incredible when we finally get that, and I hope we get that before April 15, tax day. I've heard that we will, but I'm telling you, if it does come out, it should come out either over this week or next week. I believe it'll come out this month if that happens.

I can't tell you guys exactly where the DOGE checks are and the DOGE direct deposits, but I was told from one of our people in the know about it, that checks went out, those checks and went out, and I believe they went out on Sunday night and Monday morning. They say some have received some checks in the amount of over 7000 or between seven and $8,000 and this, it's hard to say that this is a DOGE check or  not because there are retirement benefits from pension funds that have also paid out, and that's been in the news for about the last four or five weeks, but some people have received it.

I don't know whether it's been from a pention fund, you know, or whether it's something like a dose check. So just keep an eye on your your emails, and I to see if anything comes in your account.

Social Security increase has not happened on the first or second Wednesday, and I don't know exactly when that's going to happen, but maybe they'll pay everybody the regular amount of Social Security, then that last few days of this month, they may put the additional payment in.

You know, guys, we've been told about Social Security, the R and R and all these things for months now, and we haven't seen anything now the r and r to be fair - is going to come out for those currencies to exchange and zim to redeem.

Ours is going to be at the redemption center, okay? So that will not be a direct deposit, as I understand it, into an account where we normally receive our social security.

So R&R at the redemption center. Okay? Now, if you're not exchanging currencies, you don't have currencies, and you're just concerned about the R and R, I'm sure they'll direct deposit it -  In most cases, they'll do a direct deposit  and let us  know about it. Somehow  - we'll know about it.

 Let's talk about one other thing before we get into where we are right now in the Intel, because the I've got to get my thought right here on this. Guys, hold on one sec.

There have been people that have seen things online about redemption centers. Ai, is it safe? Blah, blah, blah.

Now there are certain people that even are doing calls that are putting out incorrect information to dissuade listeners from using the redemption centers in favor of the banks. I'm just going to say it that way. I know a lot more about it, but I don't feel like I want to put that out on the call tonight. I'm going to be nice.

 And this is not good, because, you know, the redemption centers have a higher rate on way higher on dinar with a contract rate that the banks don't even think about having, and they have to zim, and you can't take zim to any willy nilly bank. They're not in a position to to redeem it.

Now the dong I've understood just this last week will have a rate that will be the same at the redemption center as it is at the bank. I have heard that it's not going to make me go the bank though. I'm going to go to the redemption center get it all done at the same time.

I would recommend that for you, for all of you, there are other benefits that you'll have at the redemption center that you wouldn't have at the banks anyway, plus the amount that you have with all your currencies and with your Zim is requiring a quantum account.

And remember, the quantum account is where the money is stored, basically under the US Treasury. And then you move funds that only you can see this account only you are supposed to know how much is in it - and then you can move funds from your quantum account into your primary or secondary Wells Fargo account, or other bank account as you set them up on your quantum card,

You need - just review it very quickly - Username, first, you need a biometric fingerprint or thumb. There's six things that make this thing up, biometric fingerprint or thumbprint, username and password for the quantum account, a five digit PIN code, a new email and a password to get onto your email.

 Those are the six things that you come up with to activate your quantum account. Okay, so let's get that let's get that started, and that'll be very important, and I believe,  under pretty good authority that the admirals funds -  coming from the admirals group, groups will be put into a quantum account, and then people in the admirals group will go a redemption center to activate their quantum account, just like we're going to do for our exchanges. And they'll move money into their bank account like Wells Fargo - from the quantum account. Okay, so that's something that's that I think they're going to be looking forward to.

I think some of the people in the Admirals groups are having are getting a lot of money from the currencies that they put up years ago. I mean, many of them, eight, 9, 10, years ago, that it's too much to pop into a regular bank account. That's why, I think and what I've been told is they would be deposited into a quantum account and then notified about that, just like we will

Alright. Now, let's talk about bondholders. I've heard that we're going to be on what I call a modified shotgun start.

That means that we will have bondholders getting notified that they have funds in their bondholders accounts, and that they will have access to it on such and such a date. They'll get an email to tell them when they are to access those funds. When can they get good money?

Now, as of yesterday, at four o'clock pm in the afternoon Bond holders have been flying in to Reno Sparks, Reno Sparks airports and Miami International Airport to get with their bond pay masters there, or the leaders of whoever's handling the bonds for them at Reno and at Miami, both Wells Fargo   

Now they've been doing that. Yesterday, they started taking more traffic in, flying in. I don't have a count on how many jets are coming in per hour, take offs and landings. I don't have that count today, but they're supposed to be funding Bond holders accounts, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Five days. Tuesday, the 11th, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

Bond holders  are being funded now that may take care of them, that should take care of everybody that's a bond holder, and it should be, well, that's, that's what I'm saying.

Now, how does that tie into us? Bond holders receive notification of access, accessibility to their funds in their accounts  when we get our notifications to set our appointments to exchange currency and redeem zim.

 This is what I'm hearing. This is the crux of the matter what we've heard is that we could be notified, Thursday, Friday or Saturday, we can write today off I think. And that brings Friday into play because redemption center leaders, I've heard from two of them so far, redemption center leaders are going into the redemption Center at 930 in the morning on Saturday, and one of the two told us that they would be doing exchanges starting at 930 in the morning on Saturday,  the 15th two days from now,

Now for that to occur, we believe we're going to be notified sometime tomorrow, and another source has told us that we would get notifications either after banks close or after the markets close, which I think is more likely tomorrow. Well, the markets close at four o'clock Eastern time. New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, those two, they shut down at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

 Now, could we get it before then? Yeah, I think it's possible we'd get notified before then. Could it be after four? After five? Yes, it could be. And this is what I'm hearing. So I'm going to tell you that is looking good. It looks good for us to get notified, let's say tomorrow afternoon, and set our appointments for exchanges to begin on Saturday.

They'll go right through the weekend, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. So on, they'll go right through go for at least 14 days in most areas, some areas that don't have many zim  holders or they don't have that many currency holders and I know some of these areas are going to be lucky to go seven or eight days maybe nine days.  

And this is a really good time to set your appointment and do an exchange, even if you're out of town or on vacation or in the hospital, just make sure you set your appointment for when you expect to be out  -and you should be you should be covered on that  --  some areas, based on demographics, will stay open longer than 14 days, But that's an approximate average of how long the redemption centers will be open.

All right, so you know the timing mechanism of this, the rough timeline, is looking like we're really getting down to the wire on this, and that means it's really getting down to the wire                                                                 

The money is going to be great. We're going to be able to do a lot of things. For a lot of people really looking forward to that. But for my life, I'm looking forward to seeing again, seeing color again, and see and doing, doing tennis with Sue and other people, and playing golf with Bob, and going snow skiing and everything to do. And more and maybe better than I used to, I hope so. That's, that's the interesting thing.

We did have a special dispensation to find out a little bit more about that. I'll tell you the med beds after the first exchange is done, using the 800 numbers at the redemption center after the first one is done, which I'm going to suggest would be on the east coast because of the time zones, med beds all across the country will be activated for use.

Now we expect to have the numbers to put on the website, big call universe.com, you should register for it, because we're going to keep in touch with you after there are no money law, no more live big calls. After this goes, we may have a celebration call the right way between Thursday night and five days till next Tuesday night. So chances are that we would record a celebration call.

RIPPLE BREAKS GROUND IN MIDDLE EAST: SECURES FIRST PAYMENT LICENSE

▪Ripple has become the first blockchain payments provider to receive official licensing from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA).

▪Ripple’s Middle Eastern expansion strategy started backin 2020 when the company established its regional headquarters in the DIFC.

Ripple has become the first blockchain payments provider to receive official licensing from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). With this approval, Ripple can tap into UAE’s $40 billion cross-border payments market.

On 13 March 2025, Ripple announced unlocking fully regulated cross-border crypto payments in the UAE, “bringing faster, cheaper, and more transparent transactions to a $40B market.”

Commenting on the development, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said, “We are entering an unprecedented period of growth for the crypto industry, driven by greater regulatory clarity around the world and increasing institutional adoption.”

“Thanks to its early leadership in creating a supportive environment for tech and crypto innovation, the UAE is exceptionally well-placed to benefit,” he added.

Ripple’s First License In The Middle East

The company receiving operational rights within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) means that Ripple’s global payments product will be available for businesses in the UAE.

Welcoming Ripple to the Middle East, Arif Amiri, DIFC CEO said, ”We are thrilled that Ripple is deepening their commitment to Dubai by securing a DFSA license that makes them the first blockchain-enabled payments provider in DIFC.”

Ripple’s Middle Eastern expansion strategy started back in 2020 when the company established its regional headquarters in the DIFC.

“As the Middle East, Africa and South Asia’s leading global financial centre, DIFC is proud to support forward-thinking companies like Ripple as they shape the future of finance and accelerate the adoption of blockchain technology in the payments industry,” said Amiri.

UAE : Global Hub For Outbound Finance With  $400bn+ Market For International Trade

Notably, Ripple insists that it is seeing increasing demand from across the Middle East, “from crypto-native firms and traditional financial institutions alike.”

According to a 2024 business survey carried out by Ripple, 64% of Middle East and Africa (MEA) finance leaders see faster payments and settlement times as the biggest value proposition for incorporating blockchain-based currencies into their cross-border payments business.

“Dubai and the broader UAE have established themselves as leaders in fostering a progressive and well-defined regulatory framework for digital assets,” said Reece Merrick, Ripple’s Managing Director for Middle East and Africa.

BINANCE FOUNDER CZ DENIES TRUMP FAMILY INVESTMENT, PARDON TALKS

The Wall Street Journal reported that representatives of the Trump family were in talks with Binance to take a stake in the exchange giant's U.S. arm.  Reported in this morning's Dinar Recaps Blog,  Source:  Bitcoinist

Representatives for the family of U.S. President Donald Trump are holding discussions with Binance about investing in its U.S. arm, according to a Wall Street Journal report on Thursday.

The WSJ said that the exchange giant's founder Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, who is the firm's largest shareholder, was also seeking a pardon, citing people familiar with the matter. Zhao, who was then the company's CEO, pleaded guilty on money laundering charges in November 2023 and served four months in prison.

Zhao denied the WSJ report in an X post.

"The WSJ article got the facts wrong," he wrote Thursday. "Fact: I have had no discussions of a Binance US deal with…well, anyone."

KENTUCKY SENATE PASSES BILL PROTECTING BITCOIN SELF-CUSTODY RIGHTS

Yesterday evening, the Kentucky Senate unanimously passed a bill aimed at protecting Bitcoin self-custody rights and digital asset mining operations. With a decisive 37-0 vote, the legislation, titled AN ACT relating to blockchain digital assets (HB 701), now moves to the Governor’s desk for final approval.

Sponsored by Representatives Adam Bowling and T.J. Roberts, the bill affirms the right of individuals to self-custody digital assets through self-hosted wallets. Additionally, it prevents local zoning laws from discriminating against digital asset mining businesses, ensuring that Bitcoin miners can operate freely within the state.

The bill outlines several key provisions, including:

▪Protection for Bitcoin self-custody: Individuals have the legal right to use and store digital assets in self-hosted wallets.
▪Prohibition of discriminatory zoning laws: Local governments cannot impose zoning changes that unfairly target digital asset mining businesses.
▪Exemptions from money transmitter licensing: Home Bitcoin miners and digital asset mining businesses are exempt from Kentucky’s money transmitter requirements.
▪Clarification of securities laws: Digital asset mining and staking as a service are explicitly not classified as securities under Kentucky law.

After passing through the Kentucky House with a 91-0 vote on February 28, 2025, the bill moved swiftly through the Senate. The March 13 vote saw full bipartisan support, with 37 senators voting in favor, zero opposed, and one not voting.

The legislation now awaits the Governor’s signature, which would officially enshrine Bitcoin self-custody protections and digital asset mining rights into Kentucky law. If signed, Kentucky will become one of the more Bitcoin-friendly states in the country, setting a precedent for other states to follow.

Banking Crisis Warning: What Global Banks Aren’t Telling You

Banking Crisis Warning: What Global Banks Aren’t Telling You

Awake-In-3D  March 12, 2025

Global banks are pulling back, signaling trouble ahead—here’s what they don’t want you to know.

The global financial system is sending a quiet but urgent warning—one that most people are overlooking. Banks are supposed to fuel economic growth by lending, but right now, they’re doing the opposite. Instead of putting money into businesses and households, they’re stockpiling government bonds at an alarming rate.

 This shift isn’t random—it’s a calculated move that signals caution, not confidence. In times of financial uncertainty, banks act as early warning indicators. Their recent actions suggest a brewing banking crisis, one that could have far-reaching consequences for investors and policymakers alike.

A Sudden Shift in Strategy

European banks recently embarked on an extraordinary bond-buying spree—the third largest on record. The last time we saw such a move was in April 2020, at the height of global economic panic during the pandemic. This sudden shift raises serious questions, particularly given one alarming detail: despite their enthusiasm for purchasing government bonds, these banks show remarkable reluctance to lend money to businesses and households.

Central Banks Are Losing Control

Central banks globally are aggressively cutting interest rates, publicly framing these measures as economic stimulus to spur borrowing, investment, and growth. Yet banks—the very institutions responsible for channeling money into the economy—are not responding as expected. Instead, they’re retreating, opting for safety over opportunity.

Why Banks Are Tightening Credit

Why are banks tightening credit instead of lending? Historically, when banks increase their holdings of government bonds, it’s a clear signal of caution. They perceive greater risk ahead and choose safety over profit. This behavior isn’t isolated to Europe:

• China recently had to intervene with a bank bailout.

• U.S. banks are tightening their credit standards.

• Financial institutions worldwide are adopting defensive postures rather than aggressive lending strategies.

The Banking Crisis and Economic Warning Signs

The critical takeaway here is that low interest rates, often touted as a sign of a strengthening economy, often signal deeper underlying issues. Banks, well-positioned to detect early signs of economic trouble, indicate apprehension rather than optimism.

This trend warrants serious consideration. When banks collectively adopt defensive strategies, it often foreshadows broader economic challenges on the horizon. Investors and policymakers would do well to heed this signal and prepare accordingly.

How Investors Can Protect Themselves

So, what do savvy investors do in times like these? They shift their focus from volatile fiat currencies and unstable economic policies toward more reliable stores of value—most notably, hard assets like gold. History repeatedly demonstrates that during uncertain times, tangible assets offer a crucial hedge against financial turbulence.

The Bottom Line: Banking Crisis Signals Caution

In short, the current behavior of global banks is a quiet yet powerful indicator that caution, preparedness, and prudent investing strategies are more important now than ever.

Tishwash:  Economist: Markets will face a recession during Eid due to weak purchasing power

Economic expert Salah Nouri predicted that market activity would be limited as Eid al-Fitr approaches, explaining that this is linked to the scale of citizen demand, which directly depends on purchasing power.

Nouri explained in an interview with Al Furat News Agency that "most citizens are low-income, low-level employees, and covered by social welfare, which affects the level of spending in the markets." 

He also predicted that "the dollar exchange rate will decline on the parallel market in the coming period, due to low demand for purchases."

Local markets are experiencing an economic slowdown as the Eid season approaches, with economic experts pointing to the possibility of a recession due to weak consumer purchasing power.

This decline is attributed to several factors, most notably the rising cost of living and declining real income, which has negatively impacted buying and selling activity. link

Tishwash:  Government Advisor: We Have a Large Financial Surplus Enough for Iraq to Cover Two Years of Imports

Mohammed Al-Najjar, the Prime Minister's Advisor for Investment Affairs, confirmed that the Central Bank has a large financial surplus sufficient for Iraq to cover two years of imports.

Al-Najjar said in the program "Under Two Lines," broadcast on Al-Iraqiya News, followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "the US administration is dealing positively with Iraq, contrary to what is being circulated in the media," noting that "there is a moderate discourse from the United States because the energy market cannot bear it."

He added, "The Central Bank has a large financial surplus sufficient for Iraq to cover two years of imports," stressing that "there are mechanisms that the Central Bank is working with the US Federal Reserve to structure."

He pointed out that "the government is currently implementing the banking reforms agreed upon between Washington and Baghdad," explaining that "everyone is trying to protect Iraq because it is not in their interest for Iraq to be exposed to any crisis."

He continued, "The cost of reconstruction and bridges in the country does not exceed 12 trillion dinars."link

Tishwash:  MP Ali Shaddad sets the expected date for the budget tables to reach the House of Representatives and confirms that disagreements still exist.

Member of the Iraqi Council of Representatives, Ali Shaddad, said on Friday that amending Article (12) of the Budget Law for the three years (2023, 2024, 2025) is the reason for the delay in the current year's budget schedules reaching the Council of Representatives.

Shaddad expected the amendment of this controversial article between Baghdad and Erbil to be completed, and for the schedules to reach the Council of Representatives for discussion by the end of this March.

He pointed out that Article (12) of the Budget Law, which is being amended by the Council of Ministers, relates to the costs of producing the region's oil.

Shaddad explained to Noon News Agency that Article (12) indicated that the cost of producing and transporting one barrel of crude oil in the region amounts to $6, while the regional government believes that this amount is much less than the actual costs, due to the mountainous nature of the northern oil sites.

He pointed out that the region is also demanding an increase in its share of local fuel consumption, indicating that the central government and the Ministry of Oil do not have the authority to make this increase without referring to the Council of Representatives.

Shaddad hinted at internal and external pressures being exerted to expedite a final agreement to pass the budget and resume the region's oil exports via the Turkish port of Ceyhan.  link

Judy Note: “The Quantum Financial System (QFS) is an un-hackable, AI-driven network (allegedly) supported by the Secret Space Program which was in the process of replacing the old Swift Banking System.

“Very soon the QFS’s Global Currency Reset (GCR) will align all national currencies at a one-to-one exchange rate – with only gold or asset-backed currencies recognized and a value based on the nation’s assets, economy and population.

“For some time the QFS has been monitoring all banking transactions and gathering evidence of the Elites manipulation of the Swift system as they moved stolen wealth across the Globe. They never realized that the QFS was already tracking their actions in real time. The Alliance has used this data to expose financial crisis, leading to manipulations and the dismantling of central banking institutions.

“Our Global Financial System has been living on air. The Cabal’s financial arm Blackrock, the World’s largest holder of real estate, (allegedly) collapsed last week, with their assets across the World to soon follow, while their fiat US Federal Dollar has been worth nothing since it’s bankruptcy in 2008.

“Reportedly nine major nations, including the United States, Canada, Japan and Europe were insolvent and facing a collapse,” JFK Jr. announced on Thurs. 13 March 2025. “For years, these governments have recklessly printed money, racking up debt without a clear path to repayment.

“The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) Disclosure will soon report a global stock market crash. The financial freeze could last between two to ten days where trillions of dollars vanished overnight, while Crypto-currencies, Bit-coin and major wallets took massive hits.

“Tier 4b (Us, the Internet Group who have bought foreign currencies and Zim Bonds) notification to exchange currencies and redeem bonds may soon act, (allegedly)  followed by an end to the IRS and all tax systems.”  …JFK Jr. on Telegram

Stock Market Cratering; Is This The "Big One"? | Gregory Mannarino

Liberty and Finance:  3-13-2025

Gregory Mannarino discusses the recent volatility in the stock market, emphasizing that the S&P 500 has entered a correction phase.

While he acknowledges the market’s sharp downturn, he suggests that this isn't the "big one" yet, as the true crisis will stem from a collapse in the debt market.

 Mannarino points out that the instability in the bond market is sending troubling signals, with rising yields and a weakening U.S. dollar.

 He stresses that the stock market, although experiencing significant sell-offs, is not yet facing the catastrophic meltdown that could follow a debt market crash.

Ultimately, Mannarino suggests caution, urging people to monitor the debt and dollar movements closely as key indicators of deeper financial distress.

Grow Money Like the Rockefeller Family

Grow Money Like the Rockefeller Family– 5 Ways They Created Generational Wealth

Caitlyn Moorhead  Thu, March 13, 2025   GOBankingRates

There is no way around the Rockefeller name being associated with money, as it’s synonymous with immense wealth and the realization of the American Dream. The family’s fortune, established by America’s first billionaire John D. Rockefeller Sr., the founder of the Standard Oil Company in the late 19th century, has endured for generations, making the Rockefellers one of the wealthiest families in history.

In large part, this massive amount of money was thanks to the following factors:

• At one point, the company-controlled 90% of U.S. refineries and pipelines, which led Rockefeller to become the richest man in the world and one of the first billionaires.

• The family fortune was valued at over $600 billion in today’s dollars. Today, that translates to one of America’s richest families having a net worth of $10.3 billion.

• The Standard Oil Company would later evolve into the ExxonMobil and Chevron corporations that everyone knows today.

• The Rockefellers also developed one of the first major business trusts, which controlled Chase Manhattan Bank, now known as Chase Bank.

• The Rockefeller Foundation went on to establish themselves as industrialists and philanthropists throughout U.S. history, and have given away an estimated $1 billion to varying charitable causes.

Over a century later, the Rockefeller generational wealth still establishes them as one of the richest families in the world. Valued at $10.3 billion among 70 heirs and family members, the fact that the Rockefellers have continued to keep the wealth in the family for decades is proof of their knowledge in investing in generational wealth building. Here are five ways the Rockefellers built and sustained their generational wealth.

Diversified Investments

To further grow the Rockefeller wealth, they safeguarded their real estate and bond investments which supplied both physical assets that grew in value over time and consistent income. A well-diversified and balanced portfolio helped offset riskier ventures and protected their fortune.

The Rockefellers recognized the importance of diversification in wealth preservation. While the initial fortune was built on oil, the family expanded their investments into various sectors over the years and have stakes in real estate, industry and even venture capital, thus ensuring a consistent growth and safeguarding of their wealth against market volatility.

Rockefeller Center alone was purchased out by Jerry Sperry for a whopping $1.8 billion. With Exxon mobiles and Chevron stations still being built today, the family has consumed and purchased many companies over time such as General Mills, Kellogg, Nestle, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Procter and Gamble to name only a few.

Though most of us don’t have billions lying around to purchase a company like Nestle, it is great advice to diversify one’s money into companies, through our own research, to bank on being successful.

Philanthropy and Reputation Management

Philanthropy has been a significant aspect of the Rockefeller family’s legacy, and each generation has taken up the torch. In fact, he and his son John D Rockefeller Jr. dedicated themselves to philanthropy, giving away more than $1 billion and establishing the University of Chicago.

The establishment of numerous charitable foundations has not only contributed positively to global society but also helped in maintaining and enhancing the family’s reputation. Their philanthropic efforts have facilitated network building and influence expansion, inadvertently aiding in wealth preservation and growth.

Simply put, the more you give, the more you make.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

TRUMP FAMILY ALLEGEDLY IN TALKS TO ACQUIRE BINANCE US STAKE AS CZ ‘SEEKS’ PARDON – REPORT

A recent report alleges that the Trump Family has been in talks to take a stake in crypto exchange Binance’s US arm, which could facilitate the company’s return to the country. Simultaneously, the exchange’s co-founder, Changpeng Zhao, also known as “CZ,” has allegedly been “pushing” for a pardon from the Trump administration.

Trump Family In ‘Deal Talks’ For Binance US Stake?

On Thursday, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that representatives of US President Donald Trump’s family have held talks to acquire a financial stake in Binance US since 2024. According to people familiar with the matter, the talks allegedly began as part of the global exchange’s plan to return to the US.

Binance reportedly contacted Trump’s camp, offering a business deal with the Presidential Family. The company “began exploring a return to the U.S. market last year around the time of Trump’s election win” and “told people it was willing to make a deal with Trump’s company and wanted to eliminate its legal problems,” the report states.

However, it was unclear how the Trump family stake would come together if they struck a deal. The WSJ sources said the options included the deal going through the Trump family crypto venture, World Liberty Financial (WLF).

Moreover, Steve Witkoff, the United States Special Envoy to the Middle East, was seemingly involved in the deal talks. Witkoff is a co-founder of WLF, but a Trump administration official denied any involvement, adding that he is “in the process of divesting from his business interests.”

The report claims that “After Trump won, Binance set up a working group under CEO Richard Teng, which included senior legal and compliance staff, to assess options. Executives knew that Zhao’s conviction complicated any return, as it would be difficult to sign up new commercial partners in the U.S. with a felon as a majority shareholder.”

As a result, the company executive “saw a potential legal playbook in the saga of Justin Sun,” who recently had the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pause its lawsuit against him. This route consisted of “a cash infusion into World Liberty Financial in exchange for a pardon for Zhao,” the sources told the news media outlet.

CZ Denies Claims Of “Pushing” For A Pardon

The report also stated that Changpeng Zhao, Binance’s co-founder and largest stakeholder, has been “pushing for the Trump administration to grant him a pardon” amid the deal talks, which allegedly continued after the US President’s inauguration.

The news caused outrage among several crypto investors, who considered the potential financial deal for a pardon “the cherry on top” of the recent TRUMP and MELANIA memecoin controversies.

CZ responded to the report, denying the allegations. In an X post, he stated, “The WSJ article got the facts wrong.” He explained that over 20 people informed him they had been asked to confirm the “deal for a pardon” by the WSJ and other media outlets.

According to the Binance founder, he has not discussed a Binance US deal with anyone but noted, “No felon would mind a pardon, especially being the only one in US history who was ever sentenced to prison for a single BSA charge.”

To him, “they tried hard to make a story to report,” while the article feels like “an attack on the President and crypto, and the residual forces of the ‘war on crypto’ from the last administration are still at work.”

Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported on Thursday that WLF “has discussed doing business with the world’s largest digital-asset exchange, Binance Holdings Ltd., according to four people with knowledge of the talks.”

The article stated that it is unclear what stage these discussions reached but included the possibility of the crypto exchange developing a US-backed stablecoin with the Trump Family’s crypto venture.

BRAZIL TO PUSH CRYPTOCURRENCY AS A PRIORITY FOR INTERNATIONAL BRICS TRADE

Brazil will push crypto initiatives, including a blockchain payment system, to expedite international trading as part of its presidency at BRICS this year. Local media stated this would be a priority for the South American giant’s plans for the organization.

Brazil to Push Hard for Crypto Implementation in BRICS Trade

The agenda of Brazil as president of the BRICS bloc will feature an unlikely topic: crypto. Brazilian authorities are preparing to introduce proposals for the organization to consider cryptocurrency as a solution for international settlements both inside and outside the bloc.

Local journal “O Globo” noted that this topic would be a priority as Brazil is now the President of BRICS, taking the mantle from Russia. The proposal would support the need to expedite financial transactions among group members, and reduce the dependence on foreign currencies like the U.S. dollar.

While the idea of a BRICS common currency was floated before, with economists like Jim Rickards predicting it would leverage gold to undermine the dollar, this has not been suggested. Instead, BRICS is focusing on designing an efficient payment system to make use of digital national currencies or even stablecoins, which are already being used in international settlements, though informally.

President Donald Trump opposed the BRICS currency idea, proposing a 100% tariff regime if the organization abandoned the U.S. dollar for a new currency, defending the dollar’s role as the world’s trading coin.

Brazil could also present a system like Pix, that uses different networks and systems based on fiat currencies. Nonetheless, this might raise worries about the sovereignty and independence of the system, as fiat currencies might be subject to different regulatory standards.

Russian officials have confirmed that BRICS is indeed taking this as a priority, hosting talks to determine the best course of action in this regard. Last month, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stressed that President Luis Inacio Lula Da Silva had taken the initiative in this field, examining the creation of a so-called transborder payment initiative, the creation of a reinsurance company, and the BRICS Clear settlement and depositary infrastructure.

8 Key Signs of a Quiet Millionaire

8 Key Signs of a Quiet Millionaire, According to Rachel Cruze

Ashley Donohoe  Thu, March 13, 2025  GOBankingRates

When you think about millionaires, you might picture people who visibly show off their expensive things or who got rich by receiving an inheritance or making one lucky investment.

However, the National Study of Millionaires by Ramsey Solutions showed that millionaires more often built their wealth by more ordinary means, like stashing funds in a 401(k), and many didn’t even earn extremely high salaries. It can even be hard to tell who is rich sometimes.

A recent YouTube video from financial expert Rachel Cruze looked at eight common signs that can help you identify “quiet” millionaires.

Not Living Paycheck to Paycheck

A recent Pymnts Intelligence report found that 65% of respondents relied on their next paycheck. That number also included some Americans who lived paycheck to paycheck but didn’t necessarily struggle to pay their bills.

Quiet millionaires don’t share this problem. Cruze explained that such people thrive because they have a bigger margin thanks to budgeting and not spending excessively.

Not Worrying About Upcoming Expenses

Unlike those living paycheck to paycheck, quiet millionaires are less worried about becoming financially damaged if they face a big expense. They’ve already saved up the money.

“Having an emergency fund for upcoming expenses for the unexpected is key, but then also planning for upcoming expenses ahead of time, being proactive,” Cruze explained.
